It started with a jolt, but Harrisburg's series opener in Binghamton Thursday night ended with a whimper, the host Mets doubling up the Senators 12-6 at NYSEG Stadium.

Jayce Boyd homered and drove in four runs, and starting pitcher Darin Gorski -- a Mount Joy native -- added two hits and two RBIs for Binghamton (16-14) in the opener of this four-game Eastern League set.

Michael Taylor, in his first start in a week, crushed Gorski's first pitch of the game for a home run and finished 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs, a double shy of the cycle for the Senators (10-21).

Each team collected 13 hits, but the Mets finished 7-for-14 with runners in scoring position while the Senators were just 2-for-10.

Gorski (3-1), who allowed two runs in six innings, struck out seven against one walk. He's a Donegal High School and Kutztown University product.

Blake Schwartz (0-6) suffered another loss for the Senators after allowing five runs in five innings. He walked four without a strikeout.

Dupra was promoted from Class A Potomac, while RHP Tyler Herron rejoined the Senators' roster from Class AAA Syracuse. No other moves were required, as Harrisburg had been two players shy of the full allotment of 25.

TURNING POINT

After retiring the first four batters he faced, and carrying the 1-0 edge thanks to Taylor's blast, Schwartz ran into some trouble in the second inning.

Kevin Plawecki singled with one out, and Dustin Lawley walked. After a flyout, Schwartz and the Senators perhaps pitched around eight-hole hitter Wilfredo Tovar (walk) to load the bases for Gorski.

But Gorski, in his first at-bat of the season, lined a two-run single to center for a 2-1 lead.

After Ricky Hague's homer tied the score in the top of the fifth, Binghamton again went right back to work thanks to a Gorski leadoff double. Boyd's three-run homer came later in the frame and left the Mets ahead 5-2, a lead they would keep.
